Great guide. Wonderfully detailed and beautifully illustrated. I used it more for research ahead of my trip rather than an actual carry around guide - though I did pack it and consulted it frequently from my hotel room. I've found books to be better for pre-trip research because they include EVERYTHING for one to filter through. With online research you tend to zero in on just the big attractions and miss some of the most interesting hidden gems because you just don't know they're there.

A nice feature of this guide is the tear-out laminated fold up map which I actually folded in half again and kept in my pocket for all my travels about town - it helped extend my smart-phone battery life. It shows every street and landmark yet it's just big enough for older eyes. I only wish the subway portion of the map included Brooklyn. All in all the book served me well and I highly recommend it.

DK Eyewitness make the absolute best travel guides, no matter where you are going. This one is no exception. It has a lot of background info of New York, it's history and culture, as well as thousands (litterally) of colour photos throughout the book to illustrate everything. The sectioning of the book is great, where there are sections for tips when traveling with children, the best restaurants for all budjets, hotels in all classes and other must see attractions. The maps in the back where you can look up any street address to find your current location, is extremely helpful, so is the laminated maps over all public transport throughout New York. The books gives great advice for the different museums, with pictures and history of each. If you want to travel outside of Manhattan, there are also plenty of tips for daytrips and excursions. Some might say that they want a lighter and smaller travel-book, but I have tried several of them, and they are usually no more helpfull than a phone app, so get an app instead if you just want a "top 10" travel book.

I received one of these as a gift back in 1995. It was my NYC Bible. It taught me almost everything I needed to know that I used for almost ten years of spending time in the city four times a year. Not having been in the city for ten years now, I wanted to make myself up to date and refresh my memory on several things, so I bought the 2015 edition. These DK books just keep getting better! If you're planning a first time trip ANYWHERE there is a DK book for, BUY IT!!! They are very smartly put together, and durable as all getout. I'm sure you can use the large foldout map in the back cover at least a hundred times before it starts to show any wear. Every aspect, from the physical to the informational, of these books are top drawer. They are, simply put, beautiful books.

I LOVE DK Eyewitness books, love the pictures all over. So this came with us on our last trip to NYC. While it was lacking some of the important "to know" kind of things or special hints while you are there things, it still does a great job of giving you details to find your way around. Also comes with a map that you can take out and everything in the book references to that map if you use it.

This guide was my best purchase for our first NYC trip with my kids and husband. The maps and itineraries were very helpful. The combination of pictures and text make this more readable than some other guides. The durability is a little better than other guides as well. This is helpful if you have it in your hand and the weather is rainy, which has happened on both of our trips. I LOVE this city and this guide was more helpful than I anticipated.
